While the rumor mill has been churning for sometime now about Gordon Hayward reuniting with his college coach Brad Stevens and bolting Utah to become the newest member of the Boston Celtics, one other free agent target of the Celtics has taken a back seat: Blake Griffin. Intrepid reporter from The Vertical Adrian Wojnarowski reported [...]

The Utah Jazz have their work cut out for them if they want to re-sign free agent Gordon Hayward. The Miami Heat are ‘loading up‘ to pursue him, and the Boston Celtics have always loomed as a threat. Except, according to NBA insider Jordan Schultz, Beantown might actually be a more serious suitor than most anticipate: [...]

The Boston Celtics got a workout with Markelle Fultz, the NBA’s consensus No. 1 overall pick. They won’t be getting one with Josh Jackson. Sources told ESPN.com’s Jeff Goodman and Marc J. Spears that Kansas’ wing, who is projected to go in the top five of this year’s prospect pageant, bailed on his scheduled meeting [...]

How sure is Markelle Fultz that he’ll be drafted with the first overall pick? Really sure. Like, really, really sure. Really, really, ridiculously sure. So sure, he will only be working out with the Boston Celtics, owners of that No. 1 pick, according to Philly.com’s Keith Pompey: [tweet https://twitter.com/PompeyOnSixers/status/871732492990124032?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.masslive.com%2Fceltics%2Findex.ssf%2F2017%2F06%2Fmarkelle_fultz_nba_draft_rumor.html] This isn’t exactly ground-breaking stuff. A [...]

It seems Tyronn Lue waxing respect for the Boston Celtics has offended the Golden State Warriors. At the very least, acting Warriors head coach Mike Brown has taken stock of it. The Cleveland Cavaliers head coach previously said that, to him, it was harder to game plan for the Celtics’ offense than for the Warriors’ [...]

Shots fired! Okay, well, not really. More like: Immense respect for the Boston Celtics and offensive architect Brad Stevens fired! Although the Cleveland Cavaliers have been in control of the Eastern Conference Finals from the jump, their head coach, Tyronn Lue, believes the Celtics offense is harder for his team to plan around than that of [...]

  As everyone wonders whether the Boston Celtics will consider trading the No. 1 pick in this year’s draft, we must remember that they also have cap space. That’s what, in large part, makes their situation truly unique. They can carve out max room and still have the No. 1 pick. Or they can sign [...]

Isaiah Thomas isn’t fazed by the Boston Celtics being blown out by the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals. Nor are his teammates. After all, it’s not like the Cavaliers are actual basketball aliens. His words, basically, not mine. From Cleveland.com’s Chris Fedor: “I’m very confident,” Thomas said after the Celtics’ [...]

Some NBA rookies might balk at defending LeBron James immediately after he dropped 38 points on 14-of-24 shooting with you and others taking turns guarding him. Not Jaylen Brown, though. Following the Boston Celtics’ 117-104 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals, the newbie made it clear he’ll embrace the [...]

It’s too bad the Boston Celtics, owners of the No. 1 pick in this year’s draft, cannot just select Markelle Fultz now and plug him into their Eastern Conference Finals matchup with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Actually, as long as they’re wishing for things, it’s too bad they can rent Paul George from the Indiana Pacers [...]
